The storage space is one of the most important areas for the kitchen design ideas. The cupboards have to be planned well to store not only the cooking vessels but many other things. The pantry has to have enough shelves and counters.

Sadly, my kitchen looks the same as it did ten years ago when my husband and I bought this house. Everything is outdated, including the paint on the walls. I would really love to be able to renovate my kitchen, but since my full-time job has become a part-time job, money is an issue for me. What I really need are some great inexpensive kitchen design ideas. After reading a few magazines and taking tours of a few model homes, I now have some kitchen design ideas that won't make my checkbook cry.

It's good to be bold and experimental when deploying the rustic design to your kitchen. Different color schemes like cobalt blue, burnt orange, tomato red, olive green and sunflower yellow give it a unique and personalized look. A rustic environment requires stucco walls, Venetian plasters and rough looking walls giving it an innovated vintage design. Other design schemes include iron wall decoration, iron wall grills and iron cabinets that become the focal point of every observer upon entering the kitchen.
